IPAF presents: The Making of Pinocchio by Cade & MacAskill

In a forest of real wood and fake wood, and real fake wood, and fake real wood, join the cast, crew, and creators as they construct Pinocchio over and over again, shaking the boundaries between possible and impossible, reality and fantasy. Turning wood into flesh, boys into donkeys, and making that nose grow… the tricks of the trade will be revealed before your very eyes.

Artists and lovers Rosana Cade and Ivor MacAskill have been making The Making of Pinocchio since 2018, alongside and in response to Ivor’s gender transition. Glimpsed through a fictionalised making process, the artists’ real autobiographical experience meets the magical story of the little lying puppet who wants to be a real boy.

Enter a world of wildly queer utopic imaginings, conjured in a click-and-lock landscape where everything can change and everything can connect.

The Making of Pinocchio’s first presentation at Take Me Somewhere May 2021 was designed as a special one-off digital performance and performed and filmed in Tramway, Glasgow in May 2021 under covid-19 restrictions.

About the Artists: 

Cade & MacAskill are renowned queer live artists based in Glasgow, creating and performing their unique works nationally and internationally in a wide range of contexts. Their work, together and individually, straddles the worlds of contemporary theatre, live art, queer cabaret, film, children’s performance, site-specific and socially engaged practices. Their show MOOT MOOT, commissioned by Fierce, The Marlborough and The Yard was part of Edinburgh Fringe 2019, Made In Scotland Showcase, and British Council Showcase.

Cade & MacAskill regularly perform together in their anti-genre live art concept band ‘Double Pussy Clit F*ck’ which assaults audiences across performance, club, and music contexts. They also both create work as individuals and in various other collaborations.
